About us

30 Years of success at Yan hair, has been achieved by a commitment to ongoing training and team development. This approach led Aveda to select the stylish salon to spearhead the launch of their new 96% naturally derived colour range.

The best products, expert training, a friendly team alongside late night opening and teaching you how to recreate the salon style at home are all part of the service at Yan Hair.

The continued success of the salon is based on the simple principle that whether it’s your first, or your hundredth visit the service will make you want to come back again and again. As the team say “We don’t just want people to love their hair but also the experience.”

The salon is open six days a week, include late nights until 8pm on Wednesday and Thursday.

Hair wash, cut & dry

The service was excellent. Had a delightful massage while having my hair washed. She cut my hair just as I wanted and made sure I was happy as we went along. I will 100% go back and ask for Remi.

my daughters hair cut

I took my daughter (age 5) for her first real cut and style to Yans and was extremely impressed with the service she received! My daughter was slightly nervous when we first arrived but the wonderful and professional staff made her feel so at ease. My daughter had her hair cut by stylist Amber. Amber was brilliant with my daughter (and myself) and is a real asset to Yans. I could not be happier with the service we received. Thank you x

Women's cut & blow dry with Chantelle

Rachel Daws
10th Jan 2015

Excellent service from Chantelle - always listens to what I want and does a good cut. However I was disappointed with the hair wash and head massage - a young bloke with facial hair and glasses did mine and he spent most of the te massaging my ears! It also felt like he kept falling asleep! Other than that, great as always.

Had a really good experience today. All staff great but really disappointed that having paid £39 in November that I was charged £48 today. Not sure I can afford such a price hike. Pam

Hi Pam, Thank you for your feedback, we can book you in with someone in a lower price range next time, when you are ready for your next cut just call and ask for one of the lower price ranges. All the girls have been trained by our Yan academy, the price just goes on their experience and years with us and some guests prefer to have the higher price, so dont worry about not being able to come back to us. We look forward to seeing you soon.

Great salon. Lovely , welcoming staff.

Very good salon with friendly staff. Great value for money on cut and style. Stylist Chantelle was great with new style ideas and showed me how to recreate the style she did on my new cut. Lovely to have massage chairs during the wash and tea or coffee choice during the cut. Definitely recommend. Got an appointment in really good time as well.

I came in and saw Danielle for a cut and colour today ( I last had highlights in January) and as always she knew exactly what we could do to lift and liven my hair. With fresh highlights and copper through my hair I'm ready for autumn and my much needed cut looks fab! She is amazing with my thick hair and I always feel safe with my hair in her hands!

I've been coming to Yan Hair for 5-6 years and I always seen Yasmin. She's not only great at what she does, but she always makes it a pleasure to see her, it's like seeing an old friend as she always remembers what we talked about last time. I have actually moved to Birmingham but still come back to Leicester to have my hair cut as I don't trust going to somewhere else to have my hair cut. Yasmin has helped me grow my hair over the years rather than cutting it shorter than I'd want. Great salon with a friendly atmosphere.
